MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Your power scooter is designed for minimal maintenance. However, like any motorized vehicle it requires routine
maintenance. To keep your S19V for years of trouble-free operation, we recommend you follow the following
maintenance checks as scheduled.
DAILY CHECKS

Visual check on the conditions of tires

Inspect the battery condition meter on the controller to determine if batteries need to be charged.
MONTHLY CHECKS

Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed, cut or have any exposed wires.
SEMI-ANNUAL CHECKS
Check the motor brushes. We recommended that your authorized dealer inspect the brushes every six months or sooner
if your power scooter is not operating smoothly. If inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be
replaced or motor damage will result.
CHECK

Make sure to keep the controller clean while protecting it from rain or water. Never hose off your power scooter or
place it in direct contact with water.

Keep wheels free from lint, hair, sand and carpet fibers.

Visually inspect the tire tread. If less than 1mm (1/32”), please have your tires replaced by your local dealer.

All upholstery can be washed with warm water and mild soap. Occasionally check the seat and back for sagging,
cuts and tears. Replace if necessary. Do not store your scooter in damp or humid conditions as this will lead to
mildew and rapid deterioration of the upholstery parts.

All moving mechanism will benefit from simple lubrication and inspection. Lubricate using petroleum jelly or light
oil. Do not use too much oil, otherwise small drips could stain and damage carpets and furnishings etc. Always
perform a general inspection of the tightness of all nuts and bolts.
Disposal of Your Power Scooter/ Batteries
Your power scooter/batteries must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations.
Contact your local waste disposal agency or authorized dealer for information on proper disposal of power scooter
packaging, metal frame components, plastic components, electronics, batteries, neoprene, silicone, and polyurethane
materials.

Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power
scooter. Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your power scooter.
